Laymen call a thick mixture of liquid and an insoluble additive
SLURRY. This sounds like slurry to me. Common term in manufacturing and construction environment.

Mud, wet sand, quicksand, as someone already said, a slurry if it is mobile enough. An heterogenous mixture, which basically means that it is visibly not the same all the way through and can be separted by really simple things like filtration or drying.

Do you mean mix or dissolve. Insoluble describes the sand in the water. I think sedimentation would describe the process of the sand sinking down out of the water.

When you mix two different substances which do not mix it is called "mixture"
For example, if you mix sugar and salt it is called mixture of sugar and salt
